Hi there, I am looking at options for backup storage. From reviewing prices storage is quite cheap but I get confused by the mix-'n-match nature of some of the cloud offerings. The alternative is to spin up a VM with out current providers but then cost per GB is large and there are some limits on the VM disk size. I have tried implementations (fuse I believe) of mounting a bucket and using rsync to copy data to is but it was slow and all files and whole files were transferred instead of the changes only - which killed the cost of the exercise because of bandwidth. From a cost / reliability POV I would like to go with a large provider and I would like to avoid spinning up a new VM if a direct rsync service is available. Any ideas? Thanks Piers
